“Wezi Walipotezwa” : How a Woman in Nairobi Found Peace After Thieves Took Everything
In Nairobi’s bustling Eastlands, Maryann’s world shattered one Friday evening when thieves broke into her home. They took her phone, small savings, and the heirlooms passed down from her grandmother. Beyond the material loss, Maryann felt violated and afraid to sleep at night. The police said they would try, but cases like hers were many, and progress was slow.
A friend suggested she visit a doctor known for spiritual protection and emotional healing. Skeptical yet restless, Maryann went to the healer’s modest dwelling amid coconut trees. The doctor asked no money at first; he simply sat with her, listening as she described every fear. Then he performed a gentle cleansing ritual, saying, “When peace returns within, the world outside feels less dark.”
Maryann left with calmness she hadn’t felt since the burglary. She began sleeping through the night again. Months later, she reported seeing the thieves arrested after neighbors spotted suspicious activity near her old home. While law enforcement did their work, Maryann credits her restored confidence and inner peace for helping her stay strong through the ordeal. Today, she volunteers at a local community watch group, helping others rebuild after loss.
